The rules committee, bound by strict guidelines of fairness, has ruled that both "2.7RACER" and "pwd72s" will be scribbled on the backs of Blatz beer labels and dropped into the fish bowl.
Drawing and winner to be announced at a later date.

"Terry Baker was born May 5, 1941 at Pine River, Minnesota and spent most of his youth in northeast Portland where he attended legendary Jefferson High School with the fabled Renfro brothers and many other fine athletes. While at Jefferson High School, Baker starred as a quarterback with the football team, and as a guard with the basketball team. He was a High School All-American in both sports, and went to Oregon State University on a basketball scholarship before joining the football team under coach Tommy Protho his sophomore year and became the starter at quarterback.
In his final year with the Oregon State Beavers in 1962, he led the nation in total offense with 2,276 yards, earned consensus All-American honors and won both the Heisman and Maxwell Trophies as the year's best college football player. He had an amazing career total of 4,980 yards running and passing."

"His numbers include 23 TDs by the pass and 16 by the run, including a 99-yard Liberty Bowl game-winner, on frozen Municipal Stadium turf. In the 1962 season alone, Baker accounted for 2,276 total yards, again good for second-place on the all-time list."
